Hundreds of Christmas trees were turned into mulch Saturday as Savannah residents recycled their trees during the 20th annual Bring One for the Chipper event.

Much of the mulch will be used in the city’s parks and squares while some of it was given to residents who recycled a tree, said Nathaniel Glover, sanitation outreach and education coordinator for Savannah.

The city accepted trees at the Home Depots on Abercorn Street, Victory Drive and Pooler Parkway and at the landfills at Dean Forest and Bacon Park.
